Image
The world doesn't give a damn about you unless you do something. Those are the rules I didn't make them. If you are lazy, if you don't get the work that you love done, the world won't care if you die tomorrow and go into the grave and are gone and forgotten forever.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Stuff your eyes with wonder, live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.
Ray Bradbury
Image
That's the good part of dying when you've nothing to lose, you run any risk you want.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I just want someone to hear what I have to say. And maybe if I talk long enough, it’ll make sense.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Most members of Congress are politicians. They're bores. They're damn boring. They have no imagination, and they don't know how to imagine the future.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I did what most writers do at their beginnings: emulated my elders, imitated my peers, thus turning away from any possibility of discovering truths beneath my skin and behind my eye.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I've never been in charge of my stories, they've always been in charge of me. As each new one has called to me, ordering me to give it voice and form and life, I've followed the advice I've shared with other writers over the years: jump off the cliff and build your wings on the way down.
Ray Bradbury

What church could compete with the fireworks of the pure soul?
Ray Bradbury
Image
I think we're doing a dreadful job of educating.
Ray Bradbury
Image
There is more than one way to burn a book. And the world is full of people running about with lit matches.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I want to feel all there is to feel, he thought. Let me feel tired, now, let me feel tired. I mustn't forget, I'm alive, I know I'm alive, I mustn't forget it tonight or tomorrow or the day after that.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Why is it, he said, one time, at the subway entrance, I feel I've known you so many years? Because I like you, she said, and I don't want anything from you.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Mr. Montag, you are looking at a coward. I saw the way things were going a long time back. I said nothing. I am one of the innocents who could have spoken up and out when no one would listen to the 'guilty,' but I did not speak and thus became guilty myself.
Ray Bradbury
Image
You've got to love libraries. You've got to love books. You've got to love poetry. You've got to love everything about literature. Then, you can pick the one thing you love most and write about it.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Those women like to see their tongues dance.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Love is the answer to everything. It's the only reason to do anything. If you don't write stories you love, you'll never make it. If you don't write stories that other people love, you'll never make it.
Ray Bradbury
Image
You're peculiar, you're aggravating, yet you're easy to forgive. You say you're seventeen?..How odd. How strange. And my wife thirty and yet you seem so much older at times. I can't get over it.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Do what you love and love what you do. Don’t do anything for money. Everything should be for love.
Ray Bradbury
Image
It was a pleasure to burn.
Ray Bradbury

If you dream the proper dreams, and share the myths with people, they will want to grow up to be like you.
